Chapter 203 The Voice of Money
Although everyone had questions in their hearts, they didn't have time to think deeply. The situation was changing too quickly and there was no time for people to give them.
"It's almost!"
"It's almost!"
They could already feel that the rope had been pulled to the end and that the things underneath were about to surface soon.
"You guys say, what is Wei Shicheng's favorite thing?"
"What else can it be, of course it's money!"
"That's right!"
"In the past, he always used various ways to make money in Xishi, and merchants complained, but he seemed not like this recently. Has he changed his temper?"
"How is that possible!"
"That's because he now has a new place to make money!"
Just at the critical moment when the answer was about to be revealed, the strong Wuhou suddenly felt a little relaxed.
During the chat, I was about to get big news, so how could I not make them excited?
“Where?”
This Wuhou, who provided the news, was the youngest among the few, with his shiny eyes venting his cleverness.
Although I often do things in a bad way, I am indeed the most well-informed person.
As a patrolman Wuhou, it is certainly a matter of mastering the latest situation of the East and West cities. Therefore, although he is frivolous in his work, Chen Qiguan still likes him very much.
Among colleagues, there is also a very good relationship with people.
But seeing him smiled slightly, "Do you know the Peijia Store, which has a hot business?"
"I know!"
"The shop owner was a famous sick man before."
The young Wuhou made a pretentious expression and said calmly: "That store was opened by Pei Fanxian and Wei Shicheng."
"Business there is so hot, how could Wei Shicheng be poor? He made a fortune and let the merchants in the West City go."
Everyone looked, and it turned out that this was Lao Wei's usual urinary expression.
I suddenly realized that such a stingy person would definitely not be able to hold back the bad luck when he came here tonight.
Several people gritted their teeth and lifted them hard.
Mr. Wei is stingy!
Just wait for death!
With the proof in hand, I have it all in the world!
Suddenly!
Crackling...
The cable was thrown aside, and the blue and black cloth was finally pulled up.
"What's going on?"
"Why is there only one piece of cloth?"
Official Chen Qi squatted on the ground, and refused to believe his eyes no matter what.
It was obviously a piece of cloth, black and dirty, and it was wet.
The two ends of this cloth have holes opened, and the other end is tied to the shore. The rope is five feet long.
"Depending on the length of the rope, this piece of cloth should be sunk to the bottom of the water." Chen Qiguan made the most reliable judgment.
"What's the use of putting a single piece of cloth on the bottom of the water?"
"I don't know, but there must be ghosts."
Chen Qiguan stood up and looked around. The flowers and plants at both ends of the releasing pond are now connected, which is very neat and the landscape is quite pleasing to the eye.
This beautiful scenery is also thanks to Wei Ling, who is the first in greed for money and loves money. Perhaps it is precisely because of this reason that Chen Qiguan gave him a look.
Although he is greedy for money and his methods are very despicable, Wei Ling is indeed a person who can do things.
It has been eight years since Xishi held it in his hands. In these eight years, Xishi has been in good order under his management and has never made any major mistakes.
Such a good condition has nothing to do with Wei Ling, so it would be too partial.
"Did you hear strange sounds just now?"
After summarizing the many benefits of Wei Ling, it is finally down to one point. I still have to think about what he wanted to do when he was taking the risk today and ran here in the middle of the night.
"What strange sound?"
The sound of the wind?
The sound of rain?
Or is the fox's call?
Swallowing...
Awkward...
For some reason, there were rustling sounds by the pond water that was as calm as usual just now, all kinds of strange and magical.
The sound was sometimes sad and sometimes sharp. The few Wuhou were originally the most courageous in the team. He had never been afraid of daily night patrols.
This time I couldn't hold on anymore, so I hurriedly wrapped my shoulders tightly to resist the cold attack.
"It's really a waste of time!"
Official Chen Qi turned around and immediately became anxious when he saw their cowardly appearance.
"I'm asking you, did you hear any strange sounds when you dragged this cloth up just now?"
"I just seemed to hear a little sparse sound, not very clear. Did you hear it?"
It turns out that it was then!
The few people breathed a long sigh of relief and finally recovered.
"It seems that there is a little sound." The young Marquis of Wu was the first to react, looking at the few people, and everyone responded repeatedly.
"Indeed, I remember it was a bit crisp, yes, it was a crisp sound, not dull."
"Yes, I remembered it too!" Another person stepped forward and continued to provide the message: "The voice seems very familiar. I must have heard it before, but I just can't remember it for a while."
"Think about it!"
"You must remember!" Finally, there was some useful information, and Chen Qiguan urged.
But what is that sound?
Everyone was very confused and really couldn't remember it.
The sound was fleeting, very fine and unclear, and they who were standing on the shore couldn't even see what exactly was making such a sound.
How to make reasonable inferences?
Official Chen Qi stood on the shore and delayed for a while. Seeing that no one could give a reasonable answer, he could only find another picture.
"You guys, put the green cloth back into the pond."
"So let it go?" The brothers and others were all shocked.
"I finally got it up, the banner officer is not planning to make evidence?"
No matter how unbearable this piece of cloth is now, it is at least the only evidence I have found now.
How can you give up easily?
Wu Hou present was very dissatisfied and was so disappointed that no one was willing to take action.
"Does the flag official also want to let Wei Shicheng go?"
The subordinates' eyes revealed a sense of grief and anger that had been expected, although this was just a very ordinary little thing they encountered during their daily patrol.
In the past, the cases they handled were much more than this, such as royal relatives fighting in the streets, such as General Yulin Guard cutting down street trees, and various troubles, no matter how prominent people they met, they could stand up straight and handle them with confidence.
Now, a mere Wei Ling, who has only a sixth rank, why does the banner official retreat?
They can't figure it out anything.
Not to mention that they couldn't figure it out, seeing their dejected look, Chen Qiguan couldn't figure it out either.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Who said he would not continue investigating?"
"Isn't it just an investigation to put this piece of blue cloth back as it is? What was going on with the sound just now? What kind of sound made?"
"We don't know anything about it, we can only restore it to the original state and see what Wei Shicheng wanted to do when he got such a thing and put it at the bottom of the water."
"So that's what it means."
"It's still a smart official who can think of such a good idea."
Then what else can I say? Hurry up and work hard. Several people rolled up their trousers, jumped into the water, and placed the green cloth as it was.
What if it is, this errand is really hard to do.
Chapter completed!
